When I graduated, graduation photos weren’t a thing, and I so wish they had been! It’s such an amazing life milestone to graduate from college, and it should be celebrated and captured! I would have loved to have photos like these to look back on as an adult far removed from college. What a fun way to celebrate!

I loved getting to know Mikayla and Macken! These two are headed to Belfast for graduate school in the fall, and I’m so jealous! They will get to hop around Europe in their free time! What an incredible next step. We were lucky all of the spring blooms came early this year and we were able to walk around the campus of MSU snapping photos with them in the background. I love how the photos turned out! Congrats again, you two!

It's May, which means it's almost summer, which means the senior portrait inquiries have started to roll in! Most seniors choose between summer and fall to have their sessions. This summer senior portrait session of Kaylee's is one of my all time favorite summer sessions. The green trees, water, her cute dresses/summer outfits and her sun highlighted hair and tan skin really made this session perfect. I included sooooo many photos in this blog post, because I really couldn't pick any favorites! If you are considering a summer senior portrait session, take a look at Kaylee's photos for an idea of what to expect, as well as some location ideas. As you can see from Kaylee's pictures, you can't really go wrong with parks and lakes :) .

Interested in scheduling a session with me? Email me at caitlinmaloneyphotography@gmail.com for more information on how to book. Session dates are very limited in the summer and go quickly, so don't wait until the last minute to inquire!

Having lived in East Lansing ten years ago for ten years while completing my undergrad at MSU, I thought I knew Lansing pretty well. In fact, I had no idea there was a park as beautiful as Frances Park, and had no idea how beautiful the Capitol building and surrounding areas could be for photos. I'm so glad Zoe was up for doing her photos downtown and at Frances Park. We shot on a Sunday evening and it was quiet, so we had the area to ourselves. As you can tell from the first photo, Zoe is a dancer, so we also took photos for her college application to the dance program at the University of Michigan (and she was accepted!!!). Congrats on graduating Zoe, and thank you for letting me take your senior portraits!!
